The Journey to the Moon tells the story of a group of people who went on an expedition to the moon and then returned to Earth. The style of Méliès' films is very imaginative, but when giving the film fantasy, it also contains reflections on social issues in the absurdity. For example, in Travel to the Moon, when you board a rocket, you can see the industrialized urban smog. Wandering around, at this time, a profound reflection was made on the social background of industrialization at that time.
It is worth mentioning that its editing method also had an advanced side in the era at that time. It was the first time I saw that the editing method used cross-overlapping transitions in the film of that era. The method was undoubtedly of advanced significance. , the whimsy in the lens is even more eye-catching, especially the surface of the middle moon, which gradually turns into a mocking face, implying that the moon is in danger. This transition is still extremely good in the film and television circle even now.
